The hidden hassle in monthly coffee bean deliveries
I've noticed more coffee lovers are signing up for bean subscriptions, but the process to manage them is a real pain. Last year, I joined one that promised fresh roasts every month, but when I needed to skip a delivery, it was like solving a puzzle. I had to log into their site, click through three different menus, and still couldn't find a clear pause button. Their customer service just sent a link to a FAQ page that didn't help at all. It's frustrating because I love trying new beans, but I don't always need a new bag every single month. Why do these companies make it so HARD to adjust your plan? Local roasters I've used let you skip with one email or a simple checkbox. It feels like subscriptions are more about locking you in than actually serving coffee fans.
